I worry that the kitten will fall off, but the loving nuzzles are too adorable for me to get mad. Might be good to get a secure carrier/seat soon, especially since as the kitten gets bigger, there are going to be gouges in that guy’s shoulder.

At first I was worried about the cat falling, but then I remember just how quick their reflexes are. I think the cat would come out better in a wreck. A shame I can’t say the same for my beardie, but he wouldn’t want to perch while I’m cycling anyways.

I was sorta worried about him getting into a sport given all the doping scandals in cycling, but since Nip isn’t what anyone would consider “performance enhancing” other than making for an amusing performance for hoomins, I say go on with his kitteh self.

I’m not usually a ’nuffer, but I think it’s pretty horrible to ride your bike in traffic with a cat on your shoulder. It’s dangerous for the animal and distracting for drivers. Judging by the hipster moustache, it seems like he’s going more for eccentricity points than doing it for the love of his pet.

As adorable as that is I have to agree. This is like watching those people who drive with their dogs loose in their truck beds. It only will take one urgent stop to send that sweet kitten flying and if it survives that it will take off. If the guy happens to spill totally, it will likely be over for the cat. Pet owners need to think these things through. You wouldn’t do that with a child; well the risk is the same for your beloved pet. This guy surely enjoys riding with his cat; but also I think he is getting an ego feed from doing it too; not the right reason to put your pet at risk.

At the risk of being a, nuffer, I believe? I totally agree: this is like being on an airplane where the oxygen masks drop down and the adult puts on the mask but doesn’t bother to help the child after.

That kitty might be having a good time but doesn’t deserve to go splat should everything go wrong. And even kitties can’t save themselves being projected at 30, 40, 50 mph, as far as I know. (How fast is he going, anyway?)

This is awesome. That song, in case you’re interested, is called Wildcat by Ratatat. I have often considered buying one of those bicycle baskets with the cage top for taking anipals for rides, but I’m sure my kitty would flip out.
